I just switched to openSuse 12.1 from Ubuntu.
Most of the transition has gone smoothly, except attempting to set up Pidgin for my company’s Sametime service.
Pidgin 2.10.1-8.9.1 running under openSuse does not give me the option to add a Sametime account.
No amount of Googling has lead me to an explanation or work around…so…I ask…what gives?
Hi
Is libpurple-meanwhile installed?
Using the Open Build Service to look at the spec file offers some
help

I also note this;
